I love change and now that I say that, oh what a weird word it is. Change. Say it aloud to yourself, it's an odd word, right? But, it's true, I do love most changes. It brings new energy, new life, excitement and it's a way to evolve. We are always evolving, and these past few weeks I, personally, have been evolving a lot. My fashion has changed (always for the better) and as a result, I've taken bags of clothing to consignment. My stamping style has changed, after years of stamping, I finally have come to terms that I don't like coloring and I don't like cutesy. As a result, I've done a great deal of cleaning out and selling stamps. But, more importantly I'm working on acceptance. It's okay that I don't like my old palazzo pants (they were most certainly NOT a hit in my office either!) as I still have so many other beautiful clothes. It's okay that I don't like to color, I make so many other beautiful cards. It's okay that I can't make the perfect chocolate chip cookie, my oatmeal cookies rock. I feel like I'm coming into a new phase in my life. And, you'll see my website has evolved this week as well, to reflect many of the changes I feel I've been going through in life recently. I've simplified, much like how I've done with my clothes and my stamps. And for me, simple is good.

Awesome changes Crystal!! As Shakespeare said, "to thine own self be true" There is so much freedom in loving your own style, whether it is cooking, cards or clothing, our life and art is the signature of who we really are!! Bravo for change and become better every day!!
